   Very long waiting times for Dr. Robot

   Using methods you can read about for yourself, in 2013 University of Oxford scholars predicted that health care is among the sectors least likely to be automated “by means of computer-controlled equipment.”

   Here’s their chart, with “Healthcare Practitioners and Technical” in dark green:

   Do not interpret this to mean that some functions of medicine won’t be automated (some already are). What it means is that health care sector jobs are not at high risk due to computerization. The nature of those jobs may change, due to automation, but their numbers are very unlikely to do so.

   The Future of Doctors?

   In the age of spiritual machines Ray Kurzweil in 2001 predicted: By 2020, a $1,000 computer will match processing speed of the human brain – 20 billion calculations per second. And, by 2030 it would simulate the brain power of a small village about 1,000 human minds.

   Implications?

   Doctors

   Robots haven’t yet replaced doctors, but they are working hand in hand with them. “Watson,” a supercomputer created by IBM has begun working with more than 10 hospitals in the U.S. It can recommend treatment for various types of cancer and can even detect skin cancer …. wrote Raj Kosarajurecently.

   IBM is also leveraging artificial intelligence specifically, it’s the much heralded AI technology Watson, to offer patients better cancer treatment. In a trial conducted with the New York Genome Center, Watson is scanning mutations found in brain cancer patients and matching them with available treatments.

   Doctors are still obviously reluctant to give up total control to machines. However, when a patient sees that the always attentive AI provided a correct treatment plan for a fraction of the cost of an overworked doctor, he/she may prefer to continue to interact with the machine.

   Other robots have already conducted surgeries alongside doctors. At “Guy’s and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust”, AI-machines assist in operations of the kidneys where time is crucial.

The hiring indicator measures the level of difficulty to fill a specific occupation based on demand, supply of active candidates, and all individuals working in that occupation.

    Go ROBO

    As we have seen, Robo–advisors, which give low-cost, automated advice online, often target millennial, tech–savvy investors. But, there are indications older generations are already adopting these services, too.

    Half of all banking customers say they would be interested in adopting robo-advisory services, according to a June survey by A.T. Kearney, a global management consulting firm.

    Pepper robot to work in Belgian hospitals

    Pepper, the humanoid robot programmed to “understand” human emotions, is to take a new job – as a receptionist in two Belgian hospitals.

    It will be the robot’s first foray into healthcare after previous deployments in shopping centers, banks and train stations.

    Automation is often associated with manufacturing jobs, but office jobs are also taking a hit. The legal profession is a case in point: AI-powered software that eliminate thousands of hours of work is causing a major shift in the tasks required of paralegals and entry level lawyers.

    Dr. Bot will see you now

    A new wave of AI chatbots could help ease pressure on increasingly over-stretched health systems by reducing the need to make appointments to see doctors.

    Accessible advice: The idea is to make seeking advice about a medical condition as simple as Googling your symptoms, but more reliable. Unlike self-diagnosis online, these apps lead you through a clinical-grade triage process.

    Fewer appointments: London-based Babylon Health, a digital healthcare provider, says the only way to ensure everyone can access to affordable healthcare is to stop so many people from needing to see a doctor. It found that half of its patients stopped asking for an appointment when its app started giving advice on ways to self-treat.

    Benefits: A chatbot can act as a gatekeeper to overworked doctors, directing people to the right provider while also handling paperwork and prescriptions, and even monitoring care at home. It can also spot serious conditions early.

    Potential drawbacks: Not everyone is sold. Some have suggested that such apps might come at the cost of patient safety. Others fear it could create a two-tiered healthcare system, by cherry-picking younger patients with less complex needs.
